Biota regal angel, yes or no?

[Cheese Griller]

That’s what I was trying to ascertain when I asked the Biota representative if that was their future plans. He chose to ignore me. In any case, you can buy a gray belly 2 1/2 to 3 inch Regal at bluezooaquatics with a guarantee for $199.99. That same size fish in a yellow belly Regal will cost you $349.99. To some people that $150 difference may not mean anything. To most people, I would venture to say that it does. It certainly does to me.

I hear ya. Biota is a big company and the fact that they even have a presence on R2R is great, but they may miss a question from time to time. No need to get snippy in the replies because of this. Let's just all enjoy the success of the breeders and hope that we'll get some captive bred yellow-bellies in the future

When 3 other questions that were asked after mine get answered but mine doesn’t, my BS meter sounds an alarm. Sorry.

glad yours is more sensitive than mine. Enjoy your yellow-belly and the superiority complex that seems to come with it

I wouldn’t say it’s a superiority complex. It’s just the Staten Island in me coming through. Have a nice evening.

I can’t hold back any longer:

He no longer owns the yellow belly regal which is claimed to have been raised so well. I bought it about a month ago. Its a pretty little fish but colors never developed beyond mostly yellow and light grayish/light blue stripes(only under 100% blue lights so agree Areefer with your comment about not recognizable). Its around 5 years old and only 3 inches. Yes it’s stunted but with its bulging eyes it’s rather cute and that’s why I bought him. My granddaughter named him “Tiny”. Many believe diet had to do with the stunting. Was fed mostly pellets after early feeding some fresh hatched Brine shrimp. He is now on a much more varied diet with The hope that he will develop more of his natural color. There’s little hope of him reaching normal adult size. Again thats ok because then we’d have to rename him! SO this is the fish that was raised by the expert on regal’s and critiques a captive breeder who’s doing great things for the hobby. I also will say its not the first time he’s been referred to as having a superiority complex…only difference is it was said in private message. However it’s fair game as the reference to the regal keeps happening without full disclosure that he no longer owns it and that it was NOT so easy to raise if the result is a stunted regal!….yes its a stunted cutie but stunted non the less. But I’m ok with that as I chose to buy him anyway but not ok with him still espousing expertise in regal raising when its just not accurate…just had to be said….

A photo of the wild caught yellow-belly Regal that I have in my tank for three years is on this thread. Every place that photo has appeared has been complimented with likes and loves. So I don’t know what you’re talking about.

you no longer have him in your tank….

I know. I also saw where you posted a picture of him on another board called humblefish and got many compliments on him and were bragging about him. Even though you cried like a baby for two weeks after you bought him because a couple of your friends said that he was deformed, and stunted. One of the people who commented on the fish on your photo said that it was an amazing looking Regal because it was all yellow and very little blue. I also saw where you killed two very expensive fish out of ignorance. A blue-throat trigger and another trigger. You killed them with your own hands.

Here’s a link to the thread where this joker was bragging about the fish that he’s now calling stunted and deformed.. I’m tempted to tell you what I think of you as a person again, but I’m not going to out of respect for this board.

I’m not going to get into childish back and forth. I know the truth stings but had to state the facts to ensure you didn’t continue to rave as if you were such an expert at all this. Stalking me on other sites? Nothing better to do? Get a life and while you’re at it get some help as you’re embarrassing yourself…..

You seem to want to deflect from my post that told the accuracy of what your all about. Anyway you can post these other posts because they are consistent with what I said in the first post, I bought the fish because I thought he was cute and pretty interesting looking. I also posted on the other site and this one, to get everyone opinion as to whether he was stunted or not….all agreed. I know you won’t post that. You make me laugh but I do feel sorry for you…..

You claim he’s on a much more varied diet, but in one of those posts on that thread you admit that you have been unable to get him to eat anything else beside the the formula one and two and Hikari that I was feeding him and was kind enough to give you. Dude. Give up. You’re out of your league.

I was stalking you because I was waiting for you to do just what you did tonight. People like you are so predictable.

I’ll be buying another tiny wild-caught yellow belly Regal as soon as I get my 315 set up. I’m also in the market right now for a small 2-inch Scribbled angel which I think are much prettier than the rectangular shaped adult Scribbled angels. The small circular shape is much more appealing to me. They usually show up around August, and by that time my 315 should be finished.

 

[bruno3047]

This little beauty has been on liveaquaria for a number of weeks. At 3 1/4 inches he’s just outside of my size range, ready to change into the rectangular shape of an adult. But you can see how much prettier they are at this size and smaller.

The fact of the matter is that captive Regals grow very slowly. Here are some links to first person accounts, not friends who have read a few books, first person accounts of people who have owned Regals, sharing their experience regarding their growth tendencies.

In the Hot Seat - Regal Angelfish

I was told to always purchase around the 4 inch size and red sea variety for a better chance at success . Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk they just seemed to be too set in their ways when I had 4 inch ones or bigger. The first was tiny and ate pretty much straight away

www.ultimatereef.net

We’ve had one for 2 1/2 years, named Blue. First one we’ve had.
Purchased from the LFS at just under 2” was eating brine shrimp in the LFS . Ate Ocean Nutrition Prime flake the next day in the DT . Prime flake is still her favourite food, she also eats mysis flake, Fish eggs, clam on the half shell, nori, prawn, blackworms and sometimes mysis. Very shy for the first 2 months and housed with calm fish. She also really likes to pick at snails that have dropped upside down, she checks everything out to see if it’s edible. Corals- doesn’t touch anything with tentacles but would take a bite out of Trachy or lobo types without hesitation. Never let her go so far as to eat them, we either moved them out of the tank or covered them. Not seen her at the blastos.
Shes very confident, inquisitive and very slow growing now at about 3”.
I say she but I don’t know what sex she is.
